LASIK Eye Surgery

🔬How LASIK Eye Surgery is Performed

• 1Pre-operative assessment — blood work, ECG, imaging, and fitness for topical (eye drops) anesthesia
• 2Administration of topical (eye drops) anesthesia by the anaesthesia team
• 3Surgical access — incisions or ports created based on open or minimally invasive approach
• 4Core procedure: Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses.
• 5Haemostasis, drain placement if needed, and systematic closure of surgical layers
• 6Transfer to recovery room for anaesthesia reversal and vital-sign monitoring
